BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES NOT CUT
14
GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY.
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE
EN
REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING
BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS
REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season
is usually sufficient under normal circumstances. Sand
causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy
soil, more frequent sharpening may be required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE
IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE (See Fig. K)
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade to keep
it balanced, removing equal amounts of material from
both ends.
NOTE:
1. Be sure the mower is turned off and unplug the safety
key, remove the batteries.
2. Place the mower in stand up storage mode.
BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. L)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade
L-1 over a screwdriver shank L-2, clamped horizontally
in a vise L-3. If either end of the blade rotates downward,
file that end. Blade is properly balanced when neither end
drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig.M1, M2)
Replace your Mower Blade after 50 hours mowing or 2
years, which ever is the sooner-regardless of condition.
Follow these procedures to remove and replace the
Blade. You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a
spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the Blade. Make
sure safety key and batteries are not installed. Wedge a
block of wood between the blade and the mower deck
to prevent the blade from turning and unscrew the Blade
Bolt counter-clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then
remove the Blade.
To re-assemble, position the Blade with the cutting edges
towards the ground. Then securely tighten the Blade Bolt.
